Cockpit Drill

EXAMPLE COCKPIT DRILL
"Today I am driving a (make & Model), it has a (size) engine driving the (front or rear) wheels through a (four, five or six speed or automatic) gearbox. (If applicable you can add that the vehicle is fitted with any of anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic brake distribution, electronic stability programme or whatever other fancy gismo the manufacturer has fitted.)

The seat is adjusted to my liking and all three mirrors are adjusted and afford me a good view to the rear.
The gear lever is in neutral, the handbrake is applied and I have firm pressure on the brake pedal.
Switching on ignition to position one I have an array of warning lights while systems checks are going on.
I am now left with (oil) battery, parking brake (engine management system) warning lamps.
I am now starting the engine which has fired up successfully and I note that the warning lamps, with the exception of the parking brake have gone out. I can see that (I have good oil pressure), the temperature is (normal, cold or as expected) and I have sufficient fuel for my journey.

My seat belt is on and my door is closed. Are all other seat belts on and doors closed please?
Thank you - I am now ready to move off so I am selecting first gear, searching round the vehicle and releasing the handbrake. I note that the warning lamp has now gone out.

Carry out a moving brake test as early as possible in the drive (providing circumstances allow) unless the subject has already been covered with the Examiner".
